Get in touch with your wild side with an African safari

When you envisage a holiday to Africa, a safari is what most people tend to imagine doing on their African holiday. Most envisage riding in an open top jeep along a dusty track, looking across the sun baked African savannah seething with wild game and exotic flora and fauna, an African safari is arguably one of life’s great pleasures and experiences. Get in touch with your wild side with an African safari. An African safari holiday is a holiday which has such broad appeal. For the intrepid adventurer there’s plenty of adventure out there and things for you to explore, for those who simply love walks there’s an unprecedented amount of beautiful walks for you to sample, or if you simply want a holiday with a difference, an African safari is the perfect holiday for everyone.

The greatest place for seeing the world’s largest concentration of game and some of the world’s most endangered species is Africa; Africa has large concentrations of big game such as giraffes, lions, leopards, rhinos, and elephants. Many of these animals are incredibly abundant in number, making it fairly easily to observe and spot them, which guarantees your African safari holiday will be full of amazing sightings. Africa has so many countries which offer unique game spotting experiences from the Okavango Delta in Botswana, to the Kruger National Park in South Africa, Zambia’s South Luangwa Park and the Etosha National Park in Namibia, an African safari holiday offers the intrepid adventurer a unique experience in every single safari park.

Because Africa has such an abundance of diverse wildlife, flora and fauna, insects and bird life, it makes it the ideal location for watching wildlife and getting up close to Africa’s iconic creatures. A voyage to Africa empowers you to experience and understand some of the world’s oldest cultures, understanding their unique way of life in today’s modern society. An African safari holiday is the definitive way to re-discover relaxation, peace and pristine beauty. Everyone leads busy lives and it’s important that your holiday enables you to relax and recharge your batteries and re-focus what’s important in your life.

Africa has excellent weather all year round which makes deciding which safari destination to choose that much more difficult. There are of course better times and less busier times to visit certain areas, for example the best time to visit Kenya on safari is between July and October when the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra occurs, December and January should be avoided as this is when Kenya is at its busiest, which means safari expedition and game reserves will be more crowded.

What perhaps puts some off the idea of an African safari is the misconception of the accommodation on an African safari. This misconception is a shame, as it prevents people from experiencing Africa and being at one with nature. It should be noted that a vast majority of safari camps provide visitors with luxury accommodation, from tented camp sites (with beds and amenities) to luxury lodges, with your own private pool, butler service and a wide selection of other comforts.

African safari holidays are notably an incredible way to explore and experience one of the greatest continents in the world. To find out more information on African safari holidays, visit Mahlatini to help plan the holiday of a lifetime.
